Pen and Paper version of Arcanum.

Does anybody know where I can get the Arcanum rule system in a Pen and Paper format?

My AD&D group would lurve to run an Arcanum campaign rather than the same old... same old.. AD&D games we're running as of late.

Any details would be greatly appreciated. :smile:

 

I would think that you could just copy the rules of the game witch are not hard to copy and decipher while playing the game.
Have you tried the AD&D 3rd addition?

 

I guess you could do that but...

I'd rather have the full rule system explained before I start running a game.

With my players being such "rules-lawers" I have to have EVERYTHING in black & white.

Good idea though, just wish the developers do print the rules in P&P format, rather than push out a strategy guide which no-one will buy anyway.

 

I once tried to create a pen&paper-version of Fallout. But I went nearly crazy over that (especially over writing down weapon stats while playing the game from the beginning to the end to get every kind of gun, grenade, etc.) X

 

i once downloaded all the information for a pen&paper version of fallout.

 

Could you tell me where? Or could you mail that stuff to (if you still have it)? X

 

try http://www.iamapsycho.com/fallout/

 

Thanx, seems to be exactly what I was looking for...X

 

I didn't try this game, but "Deadland" seems to be a P&P rpg in a world quite similar to arcanum's world

 

Is "Deadland" a commercial rpg or is there a website where you can download it? X

 

This is a commercial game. I found several sites for more informations, but in french.
http://www.deadlands.com is in english but not fantastic. Try it and follow the links :smile:

 

Deadlands

The game is a "Weird West" setting, which basically means "The X-Files" set in the American West of the 19th Century. The focus is more on supernatural horror than the straight-up adventuring of Arcanum, but with a lot of work it could be modified into something Arcanumesque. It does have the cleverest and most innovative combat initiative system I've ever seen, though.
